There's a bar down the street from that used to be an old school house. I think it was last in use as a school around 1967 when the 1st modern school building was built in my municipality that year.

That sounds cool!! I never heard of an old school house being turned into a bar!!☺

yeah that does sound pretty cool. In the next city near me an old trucking terminal was turned into a bar called the terminal.

that's cool!! i've heard of an old Church turned into a tittie bar once, but that was back in the 70's. i don't know if they could do that today!!☺

That's an idea. If she taught before she was married, they may have those records. I don't know her married name. My grandmother missed going to one of these by one year. She went to the school in Emmaus Junction the year it opened. The school she would have attended became Keck's Sunday School.

Try calling the phone number on the sign in the video, they might have some info on who taught there. There probably weren't that many. Each teacher probably did a 20-30 year stint.

I wish I could remember which school she taught. I doubt there is any way to find that information. Grandma spent her last years at Moravian Hall Square, which is only a couple of miles from this little school. It was in those last years that she showed me the little school where her aunt had taught, and it may well have been this one. I remember her showing me one near Hawk Mountain as well, which was near the church that she'd attended with her grandparents.
